Thinking about moving into Destined Rivals Booster Boxes. What are your take on it at the current price? Do you know if the recent reprint/recent in EU has already hit the market, or is it still coming? Currently, I can find some in around € 380. Anyone seen better deals at the moment?

Which sets are you focusing on right now? I've been buying a lot of Prismatic Evolutions booster bundles, but I'd like to diversify more. Are you guys going for Ascend Heroes? Destined Rivals? I already have quite a lot 151, and its getting too expensive for me now. I am now 2-3 years in and my timing was perfect for the hype :)

Maybe a hot take but atm i see allot of attention on the rotating sets like 151 sv 01 to 04 etc. Allot of focus on Prismatic and destined. With all the noice there I'mfocusing on another set I believe will be the *fusion strike* of the sv era. I'm talking about Surging Sparks. It has been restocked here in Europe and not hard to find. I've bought 10 bb for around 180/200 per box these last 40 days. I still believe Prismatic 151 and Destined will be the best sets for this era but im waiting for some better deals on destined. In the us the boxes are almost 300 dollars again Thoughts?

I know that recently there was a discussion about the best investment opportunities in the current market. Yet, I’ve been buying packs and booster boxes for a few years now, but lately (probably since the end of last year) prices seem to be getting crazier. I’m curious how you see the current market, in terms of both demand and supply, and what strategy you’re currently using in terms of investing. For example, Destined Rivals is one of the newer sets, but do you think prices might come down? What about older sets - do you see them stabilizing, dropping, or even rising further? Because it used to be that, after some time, prices would go down significantly, but I’m not really seeing that with sets released in late 2024 or early 2025. So, are you still buying in this market, or are you skipping some sets and waiting for prices to drop? I’d be really interested to hear your current mindset. I’m sure there are people here who’ve been in the game for a long time and have seen plenty of market fluctuations. Thanks!

Hey fellow Dutch collectors: where do you still finds new products (ETB/BB) of new releases / preorders? I can’t seem to find a way to even get close to buying outside of Cardmarket. I know it is hard, but people still manage, so my questions is: what can I try?
